Oblecthies and actSvftles for the publ1¢ benefft The Hulme Hall Trust Foundation I'the Foundation°} is govemed by a Scheme dated 13 July 1964. approved by the Chartty Commission and varied with their consent by the Scheme of 23 January 1976 as amended ty Resoluiion ded 9 April 2008. Hulme Hall is a hall of residence of the Universty of Manchester, locafrd in the Victoria Park campus. and houses som& 300 students. The hall has seven blocks, the olaest dating from 1907 and the latest added in 1967. The Foundation is managed by six Govemors of whom are appointed by the Twstees of the charity known as Hulme Trust Estates (Educationall, are appointed by the Lord Bishop of Manchester, one by the Unwersity of Manchester and one cc)-OPtative member appointed by the other Govemors. Thé obJ'ectNes of the Foundation a.. The provision of assistsnce for higher education by means of grants to be awarded to students at the University of Manchester, including post-graduate and research students, and with preference for residents of Hulme Hall. bl The provision of trnefits in connection with Hulme Hall {which includes the chapel and aplaincyl. Hulme Hall Trust Foundation uses the investsnent income from a permanent endowment fund to furLher ts charitable purposes through giving grants both to individuals and institutions. These aw8rds take the fomi of supporh.ng accommodation costs for students who otherwse might not be able to experience lrfe in hall and atso broader awards to individuals and institutions including the hall itself to help supwt the life of the hall and encourage the personal development of its residents_ The Trust Deed of the Foundation restricts the benefits to the students of Manchester University and gives preference to the residents of Hulm? Hall_ Nevertheless, the Governors have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefft and borne it in mind when shaping and planning our activf(ies. When considering a grant, no person or body is discriminated agains( or held in prejudice by reason of gender. age, disabilty, faith or belief, gender identity, sexual orientstion, status or ethniaty. Through the Warden, Senior Student, Tutor5 and JCR and publication of available grants we ensure that students understsnd that the support we provide is open to all based only on need. The Govemors meet as appropriate to decide on investment policy, to monitor the perft)rmance of the invèstment portfolio. to shape our sctivilies for the year and lo approve grants and awards. Govemors actively seek feedback from beneffuaries and input from student leadership lo ensure that the focus of 8W8rds stays relevant to changing neèds. New Govemors are selected to ensure that the Founllation has a broad range and balance of &xpertise and skills. Potential new Govemors are identEfied through consuttation wth advisers and other professional contacts. ere Govemors are appointed by other parties, suggestions are made to the appointing body via the Clerkto Govemors. Govemors are encourage(I lo read the Charity Commission 9uidance'The Essential TfUStee' and where requested provided wth training.
The Hulme Ha15 Tt Foundatlon Financlal Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 Post Balance Sheet Events The 30 June 2023 Financlal Statemènts reported that during 2022123 Govemor5 had considered the much- reduced level of supporl lo the Hall requirèd in rent years and recognised that actwty was shrinng te solety providing bursaries through the Manchester University Widening Participation process. Refiecting ¢)n this, Governors had concluded that the govemance cost and volunteer time in continuing as a Standalone Charity did not represent value for beneficiaries. After considering options Governors decidèd lo approach Hulme Trust Estates (Educational), who a150 SUPPOrt students Ihrtjugh Manchester Univèr5ty, to explore transferring the Foundation's asset$ with an agreement that Hulme Trust Estates {Educationall would continue to support students living in Hulme Hall. Ouring the 18tter part of the fir)ancial year discussions progressed posrf(ively and the drafting of the legal agreements to achieve thi5 took place. Following the June 2023 year*nd. the legal agreemen15 progressed to final form. These included both the important TransferAgreement (which, in addition to nomial legal requirements, sets very clearfy how the proportion of the post-merger income of the merged entsty froFn our transferred funds will be determined in order to pay to Manchester University) and an Ongoing Support Agreement which commits the Untversity to using those paywnents for bursaries on the same basis as we currently do. It is eXPeed that Govemors will approvethem once Hulme Trust Estates (Educationall receive Charity Commission agreementto the change to their Trusl deed. Interaction with the Charth'es Commission has continued during the year. Once agreement is reachecl, we will. in an orderly frdshion, settle the limited final expenses, transfer investrnent assets and remaining bank balanS to Hulme Trusl Estates (Edueational) and then wind up the Foundation. Assets will transfer at the value they Sts on the day of Transfer. No adjustments are made or required in these accounts in respect of this transaction as il is not yèl finally agreed and dates of transfers are in the fvture ar Gould not in any way be forecast. Further background is included in the Chairs report on page 4.
The Hulme Hall Trust Foundation Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 Chalmian's Report Ourwork in the Foundation has always been conducted in the belief that a universty ¢dub.0n is about much more than qualification and accommodation costs, it is about maturing as an adult and taking responsibilty for the environrnent we live in. That is why we have always pla¢ed emphasis on both parts of our objectnfes as set out Dn page 2 of this pOrt. The provision of accommodation grants {bursariesl satisfies the first part equally important has. in Ihe past, been the fuAéing of travel awards, rewarding contribution lo hall lrfe and funding elements of the social irrfrastruclure of the hall. This year we have seen, yet again, no requests for support funding from the Hall. As in the last 6 years or so il seems that the more centralised management of halls ofresidence, changes in the ways students approach and experience university lrfe post ¢ovid and the more general Changes in social interaelion has impacted demand for our funding. Vvhilst the demand and need for bursaries continues, tt was dear to us that the other *alue adde¢, suppKIrt to Hulme Hall was no longer needed and Ihal we could not identify any valuable other non- bursary activty. Bursaries are a very importgnt part of meekn.ng our charitable objectives but the govemance cost of maintsining this sole activity through a standalone charity seemed to us not best value. In considing other options, w8 decided to apprOh Hulme Trust Estates (Educationall who also make grants through Manchester University and indee(l are part of the Charity family from which we were fomied. Discussions have progressed very well with Hulme Trust Estates {edu¢ationall. In March 2D23 the Charity Commission were coTrsult&d and said they had no objection to the mergèr as long as both Charities had similar 8ims and both Goveming bodies took legal advi. which confirmed that. At the time of writing, we have two legal agreements in final draft stsge tg enact the merger bLrt Charty Commission agreement has not yet be2n received. As Chair, l am very proud of the supportwe have provided over many years both lo SuppOng the enrichment of the living in h211 experience for many students and providing bursaries to students who othÈrwse may not be able lo afford lo reside in hall at all. l am equally proud of the decision we have tsken to ty lo merge an ultimalety wind up the Foundation lo reduce the cost of administering the benefits whilst securing the continuation of the very important Secommodaton bursaries .

The Hulme Hall Trust Foundation Financial Statsments for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 Report of the Governors for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 Activities, AGhlevements and Performance Grants lotalling £35,800 wer& made during the year12D23'. £26,200). See note 4 Accommodation grants amounting to £35,800 were made lo five students in the year, these were full bursaries made in Conjunction with the University of Manchesterfs Widening Parbcipation Scheme. These awards give students from Challenging soci0ConoMiC backgrounds an opportunity to benefit from residential universty life byfunding theirfirst year's hallfees. Feedbackfrcffl previous beneficiaries continues to emphasise the signtficance ofthese awards to both academic and personal development There werè no requests for fvnds to enhance the Hulme Hall social environment, travel, cantrutton or other awa)ts in 223r24. Financial Revfew The Ghartty is 'permanently endowed, which means that Govemors can use the int¢rest or other investment income (the Income Fund) to make grants or awards bLrt Cannol spend the Permanent Endowment fund itself. The Foundakn"on's work is mainly bul not entirew reliant on the investment retums from the Permanenl Endriwment Fund. This income is added to the Income Fund from which grants are mad@ and govemance expenses paid. Income Fund Investment income was again atthe high end of our expected range ir¢ 202312024 at £44,602 which is slightly higher than tast year12023.' £43,3251- The details of both income and expenditure are sel out in the Statement of Finanual Aelivthes on page 10. Take-up of bursaries was less than we had budgetèd, ther& werè no travel awards or expenditure requests from the hall, and so our income exceeded expendf(ure by £1,523. Undistributed reservès are held within bank deposit balances and stand at £79,563. This reserve remains in excess of our minimum reserve.
The Hulme Hall Trust Foundatlon Financial Ststements for the Year Ended 30 June 2Q24 Fanent Endowment Fund The value of the Permanent Endowment Fund at 30 June 2024 stands at £1,462,78812023.. £1,352,930). The valuation of non-cash investments at 30 June 2024 represents 1370A of historical cost12023:126%). The mark-tO•market valuation of the portfolio of assets at 30 June 2024 created an unrealised gain of Z117,081 12023.. £27,*2 lossl- In the nomial course of Rathbones management of our portfolio, tradlng generated a gain of £351 {2023-. gain £10.209). Investmentpolicy andperfomwice The policy objectnie is to preserve and if possible increase the value of the investment assets in real temis whilst allowing an annual withdrawal of income to support the activities ofthe Foundation. The policy objective seeks to maintain the lon9er~term purchasing power of retums by crèating a more sustainable retum over the medium to long term. The policy includes a detsiled Statement of Investment Policy anQ a StrategicAsset Allocation for the investment portfolio. The policy as agreed by Trustees is implèmented by our investment managers (whose investrnent resuks are reported in Note 5 to the Accounts). In 2019r20 the strategy of the investment portfolio was adjusted followng discussion between the Trustees and our Investment Adwser, Rathbone Investment Management. and conside the financial position ofthe charty. il's long temi investment horizon, endowed eapitsl status and risk toletance alongside the current economic and investment Circumstan (notably the low interest environmenl) to review how best lo invest to fvrther the objeGttve5 of the charity. The condusion tu these disGussions vvas to marginally increase the risk profile and thus thè allowable range of equrty investments to enhance retums over the medium to long term. The benchmarks used were also amen(Jed to ensure a continued appropriateness of performance measurgmenL The Invesknent Policy Review was approved by Trustees in Mah 2020. Total Return for 202314 was.. Hulme Hall Benchm8h(s'. MSCI PIMFA Growth ARC Charity Equity Risk CPI + 3Y¢ 12.2° 16.0% 12_10 5.0% Markets enjoyed a strong year lo 30th June. Infiationary pressures eased, allowng a less hawkish stsnce from central banks and this provided a supportive backdrop for markets, parbcularty in the second half of our financial year. This strength was mosl nolable in growth-oriented investment and conntrated within a narrow cohort of USA Tethnology stocks, which performed particulady strongly. The portfolio increased by 12.2% from a Gombination of capital growth and income generation. Relative to the MSCI PIMFA benchmark. the allocation to equities loVeelgt UK and underweight Overseas) detracted as overs6as equitses outperfomied. This was primarily due the Technology sector in the USA. The °Magnificent 7" tech stocks accounted for 66QA of the total market rise of the first half of 2024, underlining the ¢on¢entrated nature of retums which is difficult to replicale in a sensibly rEsk managed portfolio. These stocks have been boosted by investor excitement overthe potential of arbficial Intelligen IAII. and as a resutt sorne of these ¢ompanies' valuations are beginning to look stretched, wrth expectations set very high and productivity and profitability gains yet to be realise. Vve continue to maintain a valuation discipline in relation to our exposure in this area. Notwthstanding this, Ihe portfolio has performed strongly in absolute terms. is in line the peer group ¢omparator (ARC index) over the period, and signfficantjy ahead of the CPl+3Okn absolute measure of retum. Looking ahead, while the economic landscape has improved over the past year the chances of a wider global recession have reduced, there is still a degree of market uncertainty and heightened volatilty geopolitical tensions remaining Èlevated {particularly in the Middle East), a US election on the horizon, a degree of economic slowdown anticipatecl and a potentially non-linear reduction in infiation impacting interest rate policy. We therefore continue to proceed selectively, adopting a balanced, well diversified approach lo portfofio construction, aetwely monitoring these factors, and positioning accordingly to mitigate risks and take advantsge of opportunities as they arESe. Invesbment Management charges are alloc8tecl 25% to Income and 75% to the Endawment Fund.
The Hulme Hall Tnt Foundation Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2024 Distribulion andReseryes Polky The income from the Permanent Endowment Fund is distribLrted to apprllpriate grant applicants throughout the year after proper serutiny of their applications. Vvhilst rt is not the policy Of the Covemors lo accumulate incomeforits own sake, we are mindful ofthe importance ofhaving funds available to (teal wth the unplanned situations in which students find themselves from time to lime. Via the warden, senior student, tutors. posters and Social networking Srtes we ensure that students are infomied of the availability of our 9r8nts and awards. Govemors rwiewed the Reseryes Policy in 2019r20 and agreed a revised policy in March 2020. The review confimied that the principles of ensuring that any unexpected cases of need can be accommodated and that the Foundation Gould maintain activtty inthe event ofanytemporary shcrt-term reduction in investment income remained appropriate. We also confimied the ReseNe should sel so that a nomial level of activty vId be preserved for a year in a'stressed, scenatTO of a one year 50°h drop in income, albeit this is considered to be a cautious assumption. The University has indicated that rt will no longer support the pr10$ pattem of invoicing towards the end of the yèar arK* expects payments in stages tlwough the year. A more detailed cash tlow analysis was reviewed and as a re5uk, itwa5 agreed that the minimum reservewds Sel to be at or around £25,000. An internally earmarked intemal income reserve of £8,000 was previously held to ensure capability to nd one off projects or exceptional hardship cases, given the lack of any such demands in recent years and the high level of available funds in excess of the Minimum Rèserve this internal eamiarking has baen released. Rlsks The Govemors revlew risks and have incorporated measures that they consider appropriate into the instructions given to their professional advisers. The primary risk is cleady investment risk, lch is addressed by using professional investrnenl managers, adopting a balanced strategy giving equal weight to capital preservation and stable income generation, being cautw)us in the assessmenl of future income streams and never commttkn.ng expenditure in advance of income. First year a¢¢ommodalion awards are made mainty via the Universty of Manchester Wdening PartKipalion Scheme and are thus subjectto their structured application prOss. Grants other than these accommodation bursaries are considered only after a detailed review by the Warden of Hulme Hall and the Treasurer and in accordance with an agreed framework approved by GovemoJE.

The Charty has tsken advantage of the available exemption as a small charity from preparing a cash flow ststement. The financial statements have been prepared to give a'lrue and fairf vtew and have departed from the Charities {Awunls and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to prowde a 'true and fairview. This departure has involved followng the Accounting and Reporting by Charities= Statèment of Recommended Practice applicabje to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard oppli¢able in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 ratherthan the Accounting and Reporting by Charthes: Statement of Recommended Prath"ce eff from 1 April 2005 whi¢h has since been w>thdrawn. The CharFty is a public benefft entity as d8fined by FRS102. The Trustees of the Charity have remewed the level and nature of investments held by the Charity which is a P8rmanent Endowment Fund.
